Podcasts

From my understanding, podcasts are radio shows that people download to the internet. The first Smart Board Lessons podcast is done hundreds of miles apart. This shows how big a role technology plays in our everyday lives. The co host Joan is miles away, yet she can connect to people all around the world. This is a great podcast for soon to be teachers because Ben and Joan give lots of informative information about teaching, like end of the year ideas. Teachers whom have been teaeching for a while can give new teachers a better understanding of classroom management. Jaon and Ben talked about applications on your i phone that would be great for everyday life and life in the classroom.
In the EdTechTalk podcast teachers are giving advice about google docs. This particular podcast is done on my brithday, which goes to show you how big a role technology plays in everyday life. Google likes to move quickly to make google more accessible to students and teachers. Now on google docs you can create your own templates. Mac Break weekly talked about kids who just got back from Japan. 2 Kids sat and got interviewed and talked about how different their culture is from ours. Both kids would like to return to Japan if they could some day.
Taking a couple of minutes out of my day to listen to these podcasts gave me a better understanding of how they are done. I had no iead they were radio shows. Now that i know how to view podcasts, I will be on iTunes frequently. Some parts of these podcasts were very boring. But good thing you can skip through the boring parts to get to the parts you want to hear.
